Probably. The underground part is most likely to survive. :)

Yeah, but is it over 90%?

Thankfully over 90% of our power lines are underground and all cable/telecom is buried here. Other infrastructure isn't going to hold up to well though, we haven't had much melt and the snow pack is pretty dense. Our city is funding up to 60% of the bill to have backflow valves installed because they know the storm sewer system isn't going to be able to take the load from runoff. Our biggest greenspace in the city (which is about 8 hectares) is being used as a flood plane. They just spent over $3mln on building a dike to divert and retain water into that space, likely rendering it useless for the summer. It's going to be a bleak spring here.

Sounds like it will be a soggy spring

Jep, that's me. If I can't uproot a problem I will at least attempt to reduce its obstructive size. :)

who knows? while trees don't need to float around, you can't know for sure how much of them remains buried. :)

There are no trees anywhere in Canada except for the province of British Columbia. There are large shrubs in abundance across the rest of Canada but nothing we'd call a tree around here.

So... where does the maple syrup comes from? :(

You can't see the forest for the trees because you're in Canada. On a serious note, I never knew that.

Freezing rain right now, after a snow season with nearly 2m of snow. A guy just walked by my office and said, "Huh, freezin' rain. How'd ya like them apples?" Some streets here have as much as 4-5cm of ice on them, and yet with temperatures hovering around 0C our rinks are all toast, so we can't even play hockey outdoors. :thumbsdown: Probably the worst time of the year in this part of Canada for weather...

Amazing... it is incredible... if here in Spain we would have less than half of the snow you've got all the power lines and comms would have fall down. It surprises me to see how there are countries out there that make their homework... :thumbsup:

OK, I wasn't sure where you were and remembered massive and extended outages 15(???) years ago in Ontario(?) following a severe ice storm.

January 1998, NorthEast US, eastern Canada. Day after day of freezing rain, never getting cold enough to snow, and didn't warm up enough to thaw. Took down the Hydro electric towers by the hundreds with the massive weight on the power lines. Link to some images: http://www.google.ca/images?q=icestorm+98&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=a_yBTcjYLcaD0QGKl73HCA&ved=0CDMQsAQ&biw=1600&bih=1040 And then the temperatures dropped......

lol...actually, yes! It's mostly farming community here and the trees have been plowed under to make way for wheat, corn, barley, flax and pasture. And it's likely more than 90% ;)

Well, we're a lot like the rest of the world, but our seasons are different: we have Winter, Still Winter, Almost Winter and that one season with bad tobogganing. With the snow we have we've just adapted to the climate. Power lines here are much thought of, and if you're going to run a cable you're going to dig. Almost every grown man I know has worked a trencher lol...
